Clark, 6 goals and Cats best.

We won't point, we will shout.

They are those big round rubbery balls aren't they?

Not if your glass is half empty.

Waiting for BBO to say, " as the Nun said to the Bishop".

He is wearing a Doggies tie as he was their coach then. Pleased to say he was wearing an MFC tie at the races, even though he wasn't at an MFC event. Good to see.

The decision that should properly be made, based on the evidence presented to the Tribunal.

Guilty.

Yes in Bay Street, Brighton and the Cafe at the beach end of North Road, also in Brighton.

Have the players turned up or not? It is now 1.50PM.

What?

I think all suspended games have to be in season games.

You are correct, I got it round the wrong way.

Open training day with a BBQ at Gosch's at midday. Wonder if Jazzy is supplying the sangers?

Agree. He looks taller than 188. Stood next to Jessie and didn't seem to be that much difference.

I have spoken to former players, as have many others on Demonland no doubt and the one thing they all agree on is, without good admin,coaching and development, you can't have sustained success. We are fixing all these areas and are on the right track. As an aside, ate at a Salem restaurant yesterday and spoke to one of Chris's brothers, who told me that Christian is loving the club and hopefully with a good pre season and no injuries, is looking forward to producing his best footy for the club. Thinks we have a good bunch of youngsters who will develop into a strong team over the next couple of years.

Correct.I didn't get the impression he was into club politics at all.

Or it might have to do with Gordon thinking he is everything at the club and knows all best and not being prepared to work to a plan.

Tipped the trifecta in the Guineas in one pick.

As I said on BMc thread, Brendan thinks both boys have a future in the game if they work hard.

Thank you WJ. So as not to ignore other threads, let me say on here, I think we will have the Tribunal decision in the next fortnight. Spoke to one of the the Tribunal members, who assured me they were working very hard to get the correct decision given, ASAP. The amount of material they have to go through is massive.

Found it hard on the vision on here to see it clearly. It does however appear to be an elbow not tucked in, hitting Buntine's head, as Buntine went for the ball. There was no need for the contact and the head is sacrosant. He would have to get a supension, at least a week, maybe more. Last year he would have got a minimum of 2-3. He is from an expansion club and that will help him, despite what many might think. We will see what the new Panel is like.

Met Brendan at the races yesterday and spoke to him about the Dees. I think he will prove to be one of our best recruits behind PJ and Roos. He is a nice guy, who was quite prepared to give of his time, about 15 minutes on this occasion, to a Melbourne fan. It started with my welcoming him to the club and he then asked about my involvement. We discussed his role at the MFC and where he sees the club. He said that if we stay the course and don't get sidetracked we hopefully will be a good side in the next couple of years. He is enthusiastic about our younger players and is looking forward to working with them and the other Coaches. From the Freo game he thought Newton and Vandenberg showed they are ready to play for us. I asked him about the rumour that his leaving was tied to Griffen and he assured me that is not true. Griffen received a great offer from GWS and with his age and fitness level he had to accept. IMO the Dog's President has done us a real favour by changing Coaches. I think Gordon panicked and wasn't prepared to stay the course. We now have Brendan and that is our good fortune. I can assure you he is a modest man and highly knowledgable about footy. Many say that he is the best development coach in the AFL. Many on here would say his position was the most important to fill. I think we have done it with the best man available. Good luck Brendan and Go Dees.

Could be a full bladder.

Because it is a football thread, just look at the posts.
